Shipping from China

The Pinebook is being manufactured in China, which is where the company is based. It’s from here that the device will ship out from. This means the $89 price tag for the 11-inch model may not be as little once you add on shipping and any other fees.

A limited 90 day warranty is included

Although the OS the device will ship with is yet to be finalised — might wanna get a move on, eh? — it’s clear that this device could be cheap enough to emerge as something of a Linux hobbies or tinkerers dream portable.
